In its review of laws report for 2008, which is yet to be presented to
the government, the CII said that instead of using ‘ambiguous’ terms,
Islamic principles of equity and justice should be implemented in
letter and spirit in gender-related matters.

The council, which had opposed the constitution of the NCSW, further
recommended that the commission’s recommendations in Section 7(b) of
the ordinance should be “in consonance with established Islamic laws”.

The council declared that the repeated use of term ‘gender equality’ as
an ultimate target by the commission was ‘impractical thinking’.

It explained that the concept of ‘gender equality’ was impracticable
because of ‘distinct differences’ in anatomy and physical and mental
capabilities. The CII described the term as ‘absurd and un-Islamic’.

The council further stated that the composition of the NCSW was
objectionable under Section 3 of the law. It recommended that women
members of the commission should have knowledge of Islamic teachings.

I wonder if they are referring to this Islamic teaching?

Tabari I:280
"Allah
said, 'It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she
made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created
her intelligent.' Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this
world menstruate and are stupid."
